It's called, rightfully, reservation shopping.<br /><br />Your misrepresentation as to where Cowlitz land is (and it's NOT Cowlitz land merely because they occasionally walked through it to trade) flies in the face of the Cowlitz application for recognition which placed their southern border at the northern border of what is now Longview.<br /><br />I will personally apologize to any tribal member from 1835 in this non-recognized tribe (until 2000) that I offended or harmed in any way. But what happened then justifies nothing now.<br /><br />I cannot fix anything that happened back then. But prior bad behavoir back then does not justify the tribe's bad behavoir now.<br /><br />And I do note that you completely ignored the facts I presented about Barnett... his restraining orders from women, his criminal record and his efforts to buy local politicians like you might buy a blouse.<br /><br />As a tribal casino supporter, none of that bothers you. But I live here... something most tribal types shilling for this idiocy have not done and never will do.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />K.J.

Several tribes were in this area at the time of contact with Europeans. The Cowlitz lower range did veture the far south for trade. Most of the tribes that were here at the time of Lewis and Clark were killed in a 1835 era plague. The remainder of the Chinook tribe has not been recognized as a official tribe, You do not protest the private ownership of card rooms. Just the Indian ownership. It is long pass the time to give the Indians their due.
